Just A Reminder!
O The Meritor WABCO chassis leveling valve
has an exhaust feature that allows air to
exhaust through the valve. The exhaust port
or slot is located at the bottom of the valve
cover between the body of the valve and the
cover as shown. The sides of the valve where
the cover and the body come together are
non-sealed openings which connect with the
exhaust port. Therefore, some of the exhaust
air can go out of the sides of the valve. This is
a normal function of the valve and should not
be diagnosed as an internal seal or leakage
failure.
O The leveling valve can allow air to exhaust for
an extended period after load is removed or
the suspension is displaced. This is a normal
valve function and should not be cause for
valve replacement. If air leakage is suspected:
Fully dump the suspension, return the
suspension to ride height, and allow
seven minutes for the system to stabilize prior
to checking for leakage at the chassis leveling
valve.
O Do not attempt to “pin” the lever to the valve
body to locate the neutral position. Due to the
narrow “dead band,” this technique will not
always guarantee the valve will be in the
neutral position. Refer to Meritor WABCO
Technical Bulletin TP-9982 for additional
information on valve function, maintenance,
troubleshooting, testing and installation.
